I was absolutely swept away by this wonderful autobiography by Elton John. As one might expect, it covers his massive career in the music industry. It also reveals the struggles of being a gay man as he comes out to his friends and family, loses friends from AIDS, looks for love, ages, marries and has children through surrogacy. I was so impressed with his amazing drive to create music, endless imagination, brilliance and how quickly he could write a song with Bernie Taupin's lyrics. As you read this story of Elton John's life, you can't avoid the realization that for quite some time cocaine played a central devastating role is his life. Throughout his life, he found a way through the hard times and rose above the prejudices to find his happiness. I highly recommend this book. I stayed up very late last night to finish it because it was so good.
